CLEANING AND STORAGE

a) Do not spray with water or use hydraulic
lances to clean the exterior of the engine.
b) Preferably use a compressed air gun (max. 6
bars), to prevent debris, dirt or dust from pen-
etrating inside the machine.
c) Store the lawnmower (and the engine) in a dry
place, sheltered from severe weather condi-
tions and sufficiently ventilated.
5.8
LONG STORAGE (over 30 days)
In case the engine has to be stored for a long
time (for example at the end of the season), a
few precautions are needed to help the future
start-up.
a) Drain fuel from tank to prevent build-ups
inside the tank.
b) Remove the spark plug and pour inside the
spark plug hole about 3 cl of clean engine oil.
Close the hole with a cloth, then pull, slowly
and carefully, the starting rope so that, with a
few engine revolutions, the oil will be distrib-
uted on the cylinder inner walls. Reinstall the
spark plug without connecting the cable cap..
